Create Print Presets using the Advanced Print Settings
Use the built-in Advanced Print Setup dialog in Acrobat DC to configure and save your specific print options as a reusable preset.
Acrobat DC allows you to save multiple named print presets. This is especially useful for design and proofing workflows where different stages require distinctly different output settings.
Launch Adobe Acrobat DC, open your PDF document, and navigate to File > Print from the top menu.
In the Print dialog box, locate and click the 'Advanced' button to open the Advanced Print Setup window.
Adjust the necessary settings on the left panel (such as Output, Marks and Bleeds, or PostScript Options) to match the requirements for your specific proofing workflow.
Click the 'Save As' button located in the Advanced Print Setup dialog. Type a descriptive name for your preset, such as 'Low-Res Proof' or 'Hi-Res Contract Proof', and click OK to save it.
